Support International Mother Language Day
International Mother Language Day is a global observance that is celebrated on February 21st every year. It was first established by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) in 1999, in order to promote linguistic and cultural diversity and to celebrate the importance of mother languages and multilingualism. It is a way to shine a light on keeping languages and cultures alive.
‘Languages are the most powerful instruments of preserving and developing our tangible and intangible heritage' says the United Nations website.
On International Mother Language Day, people around the world come together to celebrate the many different languages that are spoken throughout the world. This day is an opportunity to raise awareness of the importance of preserving and promoting linguistic diversity, and to recognize the central role that language plays in people's lives. It is also a time to celebrate the rich cultural heritage of different languages and the many ways in which language shapes our identity and sense of belonging.
There are many ways that people can celebrate International Mother Language Day. Some people may attend events or festivals that are focused on language and culture, or they may participate in language learning activities or cultural exchange programs. Others may use the day to learn more about their own mother language or the languages spoken in their community. No matter how it is celebrated, International Mother Language Day is a time to celebrate the beauty and diversity of the world's languages and cultures.
